Welcome to the Squadra di Vecchi Tori Blog

We are a group of ordinary bike riders who live in or around the suburb of Malvern, Melbourne, Australia and ride under the name ‘Squadra di Vecchi Tori’ (Team of Old Bulls). Why the name? Because Molteni and Gewiss were already taken and a few of our riders are involved in the beef industry. The rest of us like being associated with signs of virility.

In March 2010, 16 of our crew each rode 527ks in 24 hours during the annual Murray to Moyne cycling event held in Victoria. We raised over $60,000 for 2 charities close to the hearts of 2 of our riders – Learning for Life and The Unicorn Foundation. Links below.

This blog will document some of our rides, contain tips, commentary, banter and a distraction for all.

If you were worried about not getting your cycling viewing fix after the world road champs coming up this weekend in Geelong then mark 2 December in your diaries as pre-xmas track racing is coming to Hisense Arena in Melbourne once again. The latest UCI track world cup round is being held in Melbourne over three days starting on 2 December and I plan on going to at least one of the evening sessions on the Friday or Saturday.

This is world class track cycling at its very best and well worth getting down there for a look.
